Seats
The majority of triple buggies begin life as single pushchairs, although some can be converted to take the seat of a second person or carrycot using adapters (these are usually more common in tandem buggies). Some models allow you to add an extra board for older children who are able to walk, but require assistance.
For a light-weight option that is ideal for city streets, take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo. It's easy to maneuver and has a deep basket with plenty of storage space. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and will accept two car seats or a carrycot with a seat. The seats are required to be facing forwards, and there's not enough space for a shopping bag under which is why you'll need a sidepack to do that.
If you like to take off-road trips and off-road, the Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent choice. It's a side-byside model with the slimmest footprint of any double buggy available on the market. It is easier to get through narrow doors, on public transport and to climb over and over kerbs. The adjustable handlebar features an additional handbrake for safety and security.
Another lightweight choice is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double, which can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby. The seats have a multi-position reclining with UPF 50+ sunshades.

Suspension
The quality of the suspension in a 3-wheel double buggy is essential to how it is easy for you and your baby/s to push. A smooth ride is essential as babies can feel every bump in the road, especially if it's on rough terrain such as grass or unpaved paths. Some models also have front wheels that lock to assist in maneuvering and navigating obstacles such as curbs.
Some models use air-filled tyres that provide a fantastic all-terrain experience, but they can be prone to punctures, so make sure you have spares in the trunk. Some models have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, however they could be uncomfortable for your child if you decide to run.

Folding
A 3-wheel double buggy can fold pretty well to be stored. There are models that fold flat or stand up (as as if they were the shape of a pushchair) and those that open to reveal a more umbrella-like folding that has a hand-operated break. In general the more wheels a buggy has the more able it will be to maneuver over rough terrain. This is especially true if your wheels are larger than average size. You will have more stability and it's less likely that you be forced to flip or tip your child.
